Exterior and Interior

Finlandia Hall as seen from the front

As seen from the front, one can view the main auditorium extending from the leveled roof. Constructed out of mainly white marble and granite, Alvar Aalto was particularly interested in the illumination of the building, as a handful of Aalto's buildings are white.

The Auditorium

Alvar Aalto famously designed the Essen Opera House, in which Finlandia Hall's main Concert Hall is reflective of it. The Concert Hall has a capacity of 1,700 people.

The Congress Wing was extension to the main building, being built from 1973-1975. It serves as a venue for the Finnish Congress and has been used internationally, containing multiple sections. Aalto was particularly keen on the lighting and space of the building.

The Back View

A rearview picture of Finlandia Hall, the building is clearly  not symmetrical. Aalto is known for designing asymmetrical complex buildings with unnatural shapes.
